THE PAUPRR PENSION BILL.


 The action of the House Committee on Pensions in reporting back the veto message with a recommendation that the pauper pen sion bill pass in spite of the Presidents ob- jectien will raise a lively protest. During the last ten days the sentiment of the coun- try concerning this matter has been made very plain. The pauper pension bill is gen. orally looked on as totally wrong. The prin- ciple which has governed pension legislation heretofore has been that pensions should be given only for wounds or disabilities incurred in army or navy service. This bill proposed an enlargement of the pension idea-to pen sion for service as we'll as for injuries received in service. It created new class of pension CTS, class difficult of ascertainment. When this bill was before Congress nobody was able to tell how much money it would take from the treasury The chairman of the House Pension committee thought it would cost not more than $6,00O,0OO. When the Arrears bill was before Congress s'oficial' assurance was given that it would cost less than $25, 900 ,000. It has cost at the present time S21S, ,000,00 It is deemed a reasona- ble estimate that the pauper pension bill would add at least s7O,ooO,0oo annually to the pension payments.
 The demagogues who are after votes, and the claim agents who are after money, re- joiced when the bill was passed by both houses of Congress, and they were shocked when the President sent in his veto. There will probably be determined effort made to nullify the veto The New York World does not put the case too strongly when it says: It is the duty of all patriotic and prudent citizens, without respect to party, to sustain the President in his courageous stand against this reckless and radically wrong legislation. The reasons which he gives why the bill should not become a law are unanswerable. They can be overridden only by the brute force of numbers acting without regard to principle or to the rights of the people. The bill puts a premium upon pauperism and offers bounty to fraud. It eliminates patriotism from the motives that lead men to defend their country, and leaves the nation in the future at the mercy of mercenaries.
 The members of Congress ought to be able to understand the opinion of the people con corning this matter. It has been and will be very freely expressed.

 The Rev. Mir Hicks and wife of Wethers- field, who have been visiting in Brooklyn, N.

This is the second time Mr. Hicks vacation has been broken by death, the first time being in consequence of the death of Mrs. Ravens, member of the Congregational church when the reverend gentleman was summoned home to attend the services.

ronimo by General Llorente. The latter several times referred to his servant Antonio, and striking bell Antonio appeared. He was monkey about four feet in height, dressed in white trousers and red vest and wearing cap. At signal from his master he stuck napkin under his arm and laid the table. 'And," adds M. Poussielque, "he waited on us, doing everything himself more rapidly than four negro servants would have done it." Antonio was twelve years old, having been born in the Gaboon and brought to Florida by the negro who had educated him.
 The question then recurs, can the monkey be domesticated and made subservient to man, as the dog. the horse and the OK have been made subservient. The dog has been trained to hunt and be faithful guardian of mans interests; the OK has been taught to drag heavy loads, but the intelligence of the ape far surpasses any of the so-called domes- tic animals, in that he alone has hand and can become a workman.

BIRD COURFSHIP.
Curious Antics of Feathered Lovers of
 Various Sorts.

AhtAcS OH K catneFeO AOVerS OH
 Various Sorts.
 Professor Holder in the San Francisco Call
 relative of mine had large marsh upon his estate, and here the great cranes made their summer home, building their curious nests there and rearing their young. The marsh was surrounded by high grass, and it was his practice to creep through and watch the birds unobserved. Tne antics they went through it would be impossible to describe now they would caper along in pairs, step ping daintlly with the winning gait of the ideal exquisite, lifting their feathers on wings, taking short steps and gradually working themselves up to a bird frenzy of excitement, when they would leap into the air and over each others backs, taking short runs this way and that, all for the edifcation of the females standing by, and finally after & series of these exhibitions the different birds selected their mates. Among the birds of the western hemisphere the cock of the rock ranks next to the crane in the strange ness of it's revolutions. The bird is confined to South America and is about the size of a small pigeon; has bright orange web in the male with plume-like arrangement upon the head. It is a proud bird principally building it's rest in rocky places not ire quented by man. At the commencement of the breeding season party of birds, num- bering from ten to twenty, assemble, and se
 
 6 ring or circle facing inward. Now small bird takes it's place in the center and begins to hop about, toss it's head, lift it's wings and go through all the strange movements possi- b1e, that appear to be watched with great in- terest by the rest. When the performer is thoroughly exhausted he retires to the circle and another bird enters the ring, and so on until all have been put through their paces, when the pairs probably make their selec- ton. Often the birds are So exhausted after the dances that they can hardly fly, lying panting on the rocks.
 Near the borders of southern California is found bird called the sunate that has strange courtship. It is about the size of magpie. During the mating season four or five birds collect together and seem to vie with each other in the extravaganza of their posturing-wooing now in rows, now single, in a regular dance, and by way of music uttefing loud, diseordant squawks. Their long tails are lifted high in the air during this performance and their entire behavior is remarkable in the extreme.

 A Russian official report states that the use of peat as fuel in factories is rapidly in- creasing, and from this circumstance the price of peat-bogs has risen much that bog is worth more than well-timbered for est. Last year twenty-eight peat-bogs be- longing to the Crown were being worked on leases, the total area being 5000 acres. This year there are thirty-three such bogs, with an area of 50,000 acres, containing peat to the estimated extent of 40,00O,000 Russian cubic fathoms. Many manufacturers are giving up the use of wood in favor of peat, and this is especially the case in the prov ince of Vladimir Peat-cutting machines are supplied chiefly from Moscow, but few are sent from Belgium and Germany. The fuel has been tried for railroad work, but so far without any great success.
